Its not that its Saturdy today and Im chilling my Weekend off. Its chilling cold out here and Im freezing my @$$ off. Mumbai is not a place where winter is felt in the day. An occasional 15 degrees by the night might give you some hint of it.
But for the past 3 days its been so cold out here (11 degrees)...feels like Delhi and we Mumbaikars are'nt used to it. My toes recoil on the icy floor. The water off the tap gives papercuts. We dont have "Garam Kapde" in our closets and nor heaters in the living room. Our Offices dont regulate AC to suit outside temperature so you find almost everyone sniffling and sneezing. The pollution and the smog do their bit to accentuate the situation.
The MET office says some" western disturbance" exists and we dont understand that kinda english. Whatever, the resilient Mumbaikar can take the Sweltering Summer Heat, Lashing Monsoon Deluges and so the called Winter with relative ease. When will it snow? Im sure we'll handle that too!!
Merry X-Mas!!

Maybe thats why I can say "The world is my home."I am enjoying the hitherto unknow "winters" in amchi Mumbai.(A priviledge enjoyed by Delhites and Eskimos...)
Awaiting the grand snowfall...
